I finally had competition for the nationals this year. I was super excited and ready to win my title back! Sol Vista was awesome the course was good and the resort was great. I got<u> First</u> place and I'm super happy.&nbsp;<br />I met up with the Allride Team and also talked with some awesome pros. <br />The only downside was that because, I am only 13 so my racing age is 14 which meant that I had to race in the junior category. My dad and I tried to move me to Expert , but the officals stood their ground and would not let me move up. However next I'll be all good because my racing age will be 15. So I will definately be racing Expert next year. <br /><br />Thank you to all of my sponsors for supporting me and thank you for everthing you have all done. <br /><br />Thanks you very much,<br /><br />Cierra Smith</span></span></h3>http://www.loopd.com/members/DHNino/blog.aspx?resourceId=4d81222b-a3d3-4a9c-8db1-9c0d11e373acMon, 20 Jul 2009 17:09:04 GMTRaces Update<h3><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hi everyone, </span></span></h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Im really sorry that i haven't updated in a while, but i have been extremely busy with my training and end of year school projects. <br /><br />1st off, The Sea Otter Classic, this race has always been my favorite i love&nbsp; the atmosphere and all of the people.
